Important Notes

Software update file is for a/c/e/gS Series MFDs with version 10 software and above.

CP450 is not compatible with previous generations of MFD such as the C Series Classic, E Series Classic, C Series Wide, E Series Wide or G Series and as such no update file is provided. Customers using version 6 software on their a/c/e/gS Series are required to update to version 10 or above before proceeding with this software update available here.

After performing the software update, please ensure that you have entered the correct depth offset.

Software History

Version

Release Date

Features

v4.04

June 2014

Corrects an issue first presented in v4.03 in which the sonar module(s) could potentially cease to transmit and provide an unpopulated transducer list after varying and indeterminate periods of operation.

v4.03

May 2014

Multiple SONAR support on RayNet

Maximum supported SONAR = 4

Software Release for the CP450C and CP300 for compatibility with the R10 MFD release.

Improvements when using TVG TopOut mode, where the curve is now being applied in the digital domain rather than the analogue, so we have greater control both on screen and tracking.

We have tweaked the ‘frequency used vs. Depth’ to provide a much better bottom strength return.

Improvements to 50kHz performance on the B60 transducers.

Improved noise clipping and colour gain.

Improved power into the water as much as EMC limits would allow.

Tweaked default TVG settings for Low/Med and High to 55, 65 and 75 respectively. We have also tested the new software at 38 knots tracking in 40 meters of water, using the B265 Transducer. This was in the Mediterranean Sea with high Salt content and Thermoclines present, so quite impressive results.

Upgrade App

Reports progress back to MFD of software upload.

Changes the upgrade window of the CP450C to about 15 seconds.

v2.04

Nov 2012

Bottom Search/Hunting Time reduced drastically to less than 2 seconds in most instances.

Ping Rate algorithm Improved

Introduction of TVG “TopOut” mode at 30% or less TVG

Noise Clipping in Auto Gain has been improved

Improvement to bottom finding

Fixed range change in Dual Range mode when changing units

Low Frequency noise performance improvement

Removed “Installation Has Changed” message pop-up from appearing at every MFD power cycle.
